5.4.2 The Save Session dialog and actual saving

Click the
Defaults...
button in the
Scheduled
tab of the Saved Sessions controller window to raise the Save Session dialog.

Figure 5.3 Setting the defaults for scheduled session saving

Enter a name for the session in the
Session name:
box. This name will be displayed in the list of sessions in the
Saved Sessions
tab of the Saved Sessions controller window.

Under
File name:
you can define the filename in which to save the image (on non-Mac OS X platforms) or the name of the application bundle (on Mac OS X). The name is constructed by a prefix, optionally followed by one or more of the
Version
(of LispWorks), the
Weekday
, the
Date
or the
Time
. The full name that would be used is displayed after
Sample:
. Note that:

The name does not contain the file type. On Cocoa it adds
".app"
automatically.

The Weekday, Date and Time are derived from the moment when the Save Session dialog was raised. They are not updated.

Under
Options:
there are additional options:

You can change the directory in which to save the application bundle in the
Save application bundle in directory:
box.

The saving process can be made to overwrite an existing application bundle if it exists by selecting
Overwrite existing application bundle
. If this is not checked the saving process refuses to save on top of an existing application bundle.

You can specify that the saved session will reload the initialization files when it restarts, by selecting
Re-load init files when starting session
.

When you click
OK
to confirm the dialog, the session saving is scheduled.
